Bijoux Boutique Joins The Anguilla Card

Right in the heart of Sandy Ground village lies one of Anguilla's most charming shops, Bijoux Boutique. You may recognize this adorable boutique by its swirly black and off-white pebble stonework sidewalk and the twinkling lights that adorn its windowfronts come nightfall. The whimsical exterior hints at the creative souvenirs and clothing that await inside.

As you enter, the sweet soothing smell of vanilla bean wafts through the air. Turquoise tissue honeycomb balls hang from the ceiling among colorful pompoms and aluminum stars. The welcoming sales clerk warmly greets you while your attention is lured to the U-shaped table that surrounds her.

Beautiful "bijoux" of the Caribbean Larimar semi-precious stone, which is the only Caribbean stone. This water stone is unique to the Dominican Republic.

Bijoux also carries a wide variety of fashionable beachwear for children, men and women. Anguilla t-shirts, swim shorts, long sleeves, breezy coverups and hats (sun hats, caps and Fedoras) are all available.

In addition to clothing and accessories, Bijoux's hand bags are some of their most popular items.

My personal favorites are the ones that are "all Anguilla." From the loud and bold...

To the subtle, with a sweet message...

They make for a terrific Anguilla souvenir.

Today, Bijoux continues to grow and expand. You can also find Bijoux Boutique on Shoal Bay East.

Just to the left of Madeariman restaurant lies the shaded pop-up shop among the seagrape trees. From swimsuits and shawls, to flip-flops, hats, bags, t-shirts and even jewelry, Bijoux meets your beachwear and souvenir needs!

Bijoux Boutique in Sandy Ground: opens from 9:30am until 10pm on Mondays through Fridays, and 11:30am until 7pm on Sundays.

Bijoux Boutique in Shoal Bay East: opens in high season only (mid-December to mid-April) during the day.

Anguilla's First Beach Lounge: Breezes at The Reef

On a sandy cove of its own, at Breezes "beach" and "lounge" make an indulgent match. Quickly becoming one of Anguilla's most popular spots, this is the island's first beach lounge.

It is set on a little-known slice of paradise called Merrywing Bay. A palm-tree lined spit of smooth sand, Merrywing curves to Cove Bay on one side and Rendevous on the other.

The Reef's beachfront restaurant, Breezes is just one step up from this secret beach. Accessible only by boat or if you are a hotel or restaurant guest, Merrywing Bay breathes a distinctly peaceful and private air.

Presiding over the kitchens at both CuisinArt Golf Resort & Spa and The Reef, you won't find a chef more passionate than the resorts' Executive Chef Jasper Schneider. Fueled by a passion for creating cutting edge and fun cuisine, a meal by Chef Jasper always excites your tastebuds.
